Sevilla defender Kike Salas pledges to stay with club

Sevilla FC centre‑back Kike Salas, 24, confirmed his intention to remain at the club for the 2026/27 season, rejecting any external offers. Speaking after captaining the side against NEC Nijmegen, Salas said he is “very happy here” and wants to continue improving and helping the team win at the Ramón Sánchez‑Pizjuán. His commitment comes as the sporting director José Ignacio Navarrone looks to trim the squad and generate transfer revenue, making Salas a non‑negotiable pillar of the project. Coach Luis García Plaza welcomed the decision, noting that Salas’ leadership and deep connection to the club provide a solid foundation for the upcoming campaign.
